Something like this?

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 set theFolder to file path of document 1
 set docNAme to name of document 1
 if docNAme ends with ".indd" then
  set docNAme to text 1 thru -6 of docNAme
 end if
 if length of docNAme > 27 then
  set docNAme to text 1 thru 26 of docNAme & "�"
 end if
 activate
 export document 1 to (theFolder & docNAme & ".pdf") format PDF type with
showing options
end tell
